Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Seoul — the body recovers first, then the skin
The body has to recover first before the skin can
Overview
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy in Seoul places you in a chamber at twice normal atmospheric pressure breathing 100% oxygen, so roughly twice the usual amount of oxygen dissolves into the blood and reaches damaged tissues and cells. Under pressure, oxygen molecules dissolve directly into the plasma without binding to red blood cells, reaching the capillaries and creating an environment where new vessels can form.
At VOS Dermatology in Gangnam it is used as whole-body recovery: after injection procedures it noticeably reduces downtime by helping bruising and swelling clear, and it is offered for lingering fatigue, slow recovery, easily irritated skin and poor circulation. Effects vary from person to person.

- Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS)
- Those who want to quickly reduce bruising and swelling after cosmetic procedures
- Decreased immunity
- Those who need to strengthen their immunity
- Those who experience numbness in hands and feet due to poor blood circulation

What Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy does in the skin
01What is hyperbaric oxygen therapy?
Hyperbaric oxygen anti-aging therapy is a treatment method that artificially creates twice the normal atmospheric pressure and allows the patient to breathe 100% pure oxygen inside the chamber. It is a current whole-body anti-aging therapy in which twice the amount of oxygen compared to normal reacts with the blood to repair damaged tissues and cells.
02Purpose and Effects of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
Hyperbaric oxygen therapy is widely used for cosmetic purposes. Receiving hyperbaric oxygen therapy after injection procedures significantly reduces downtime.

About Dr. Hongseok Kim
Dr. Kim performs your Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy himself — from the first skin analysis to the follow-up check.
Dr. Kim focuses on aesthetic dermatology — skin regeneration, facial contour and healthy ageing — and builds each plan from a close look at the individual patient's skin and goals, aiming for natural, refined results.
At VOS the same specialist is responsible for the whole course of care: diagnosis, the procedure itself and follow-up. An accurate reading of skin structure and how it changes is what makes results more complete and keeps the risk of side effects low.
